Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they’re usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
